Straighten Blueprint

This feature allows you to rotate imported graphics that may be skewed. For instance, if a house plan is scanned and it happens to be turned at a slight angle, you can use the straighten tool to correct it.

How To:

Click on the Straighten tool. It can be found in the Image section of the Blueprint tab.

Click on one end of a skewed wall.

Move the cursor to the opposite end of the wall and click a second time.

Using the Straighten tool will result in a minor loss of image clarity. After straightening an image, it's important to double-check the drawing's scale as this function can affect it.

Tip: For better results be sure when you use the Straighten and Shear blueprint tools to use the longest wall possible.
